You know, Compact Tabs on Safari are not half bad. I remember they caused an uproar back when they were first introduced, when I wasn’t using a Mac nearly as much and when I did, I used Chrome.
Today, I turned Compact Tabs on while looking at my blog, and I like the look:
There are other things that are nice too, like the tabs shrinking and expanding depending on the number of them you have open, or the arrow keys for back and forward a page on the browser getting out of the way if you don’t have a page to go back or forward too. This is a nice design idea.
Sure, it takes some time to get used to, and I can imagine the tabs getting crushed together is not ideal for power users who have 100 tabs open, but Safari is not my workhorse: for that, I have Edge with its vertical tabs, which works well.
This is yet another thing that makes the switch from Arc easier.
